My frustration comes from trying to script the Haiku Media Prefs, to
mute and unmute the AC97 Aux channel, which I use with a old Packard
Bell FM tuner card.
It works, but only if the AC97 mixer tab is already active, and
therefore exposed to hey.
I know this is not really hey's problem and all a bit off-topic, but is
there any way to launch the Media Prefs so that it opens to the AC97
mixer by default?
(Muting the radio directly would be a better idea but the driver
doesn't have a mute function. I'm no programmer and I wouldn't expect
anyone else to write anything for obsolete hardware.)
